The Matter community tackles problems ranging from fundamental physics to climate change. Our theoretical and experimental research aims to enhance the efficiency of renewable energy, design new materials for imaging, sensing and computation, and build novel quantum sensors and simulators. We seek to understand how collective phenomena emerge in large interacting ensembles, explore how matter behaves on nanometre size scales and attosecond time scales, and probe the character of dark matter and the fundamental symmetries of nature.
